Part of what Old Pulteney calls The Coastal Series, this whisky started its life in American Oak casks before a period of finishing in ex-Pineau des Charantes casks. Pineau des Charantes is a fortified wine made by blending Cognac with fresh grape juice or lightly fermented grape must.
The Old Pulteney Pineau des Charantes is bottled at 46%.
Producer Description
"Each cask in our Coastal Series breathes sea air, leaving traces of its own distinctive maritime location. Old Pulteney Pineau des Charentes is created by maturing our spirit by the Caithness Coast in American oak casks, then transferring them to ex-Pineau des Charentes casks, handcrafted using French oak. The result is a sweet, rich single malt that celebrates a shared coastal connection – bursting with flavours of dried fruits and a subtle saltiness that’s shaped by the sea."
700 mlProducer Tasting Note:
Nose: Fragrant and rich with honey sweetness and vanilla at the base. Intense fruitiness starts jammy and stewed and develops into candied oranges and sticky balsamic raisins. Hints of toasted spices and powder pepper complete this stunning profile.
Palate: A lingering finish showcases notes of caramelised hazelnuts and ground spices, broadening in sweetness, and then drying ever so slowly towards a savoury finale of coastal minerality.
